Mix thoroughly with your hands. Add the panko and mix to combine.Form the mixture evenly into 4 patties, packing them firmly around the edges so they don't fall apart (we use a burger press at the shop). Each patty should be between 1/2 and 3/4 inch thick.Preheat a skillet (cast iron works well) over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of avocado oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is nearly smoking, add the patties and cook for 3 minutes. Turn carefully with a spatula and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. The patties may also be grilled over medium-high heat for the same amount of time.
